Summer 2015 Educational Consulting

The MCAE Instructional Center is located in Appleby Hall. The Center provides group and individual tutoring to University of Minnesota students. It is a place where students can take their time to learn and where students are not afraid to ask questions. It is a place where students study together and develop support groups and lasting friendships. Studies show that students who attend learning centers achieve better grades and are more successful during their college careers. The tutorial staff offer one-on-one assistance for help in gateway courses and skills such as mathematics, sciences, statistics, economics, writing, and library research. Additional courses are also supported, based on the backgrounds of our tutorial staff in any given semester.

The MCAE Instructional Center offers walk-in tutoring from the first week of classes through the last full week of classes. The walk-in tutoring schedule also includes hours for the Peer Research Consultants, both at the MCAE Instructional Center in Appleby Hall and at University of Minnesota Libraries locations.

Facilitated study groups for key gateway classes (calculus, general chemistry, first-year physics). Study Groups at a Glance includes meeting times and places, as well as on-line and in-person resources.
